2 Crónicas 28:23 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 28:23

For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him,
&c.] As he foolishly imagined, that they might do him no more hurt; as it is said of the Indians, that they worship the devil, that he may not hurt them; but that a king of Judah should do this is monstrous stupidity; rather therefore the meaning may be, that he worshipped the gods of those that smote him, those of the men or soldiers of Damascus


FOOTNOTES:

F13 see ( 2 Chronicles 28:5 ) for the Spirit of God would never ascribe the smiting of him to idols, though he himself might;

and he said, because the gods of the kings of Syria help them;
which looks as if this was before Damascus was taken by the king of Assyria, and when Rezin king of Syria prevailed over Ahaz:

therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me;
against the Edomites and Philistines; wherefore rather to this, his idolatry, respect is had in ( 2 Chronicles 28:22 ) ,

but they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel;
the worship of them was the cause of all the calamities that came upon that part of Israel of which he was king.


F13 So Junius & Tremellius, Piscator.

2 Crónicas 28:23 In-Context

21 Pues Acaz había tomado una porción del tesoro de la casa del SEÑOR, del palacio del rey y de los príncipes, y la había dado al rey de Asiria; pero no le sirvió de nada.
22 Y en el tiempo de su angustia este rey Acaz fue aún más infiel al SEÑOR;
23 sacrificaba a los dioses de Damasco que lo habían derrotado, y decía: Por cuanto los dioses de los reyes de Aram los ayudaron, sacrificaré a ellos para que me ayuden. Pero ellos fueron su ruina y la de todo Israel.
24 Además, cuando Acaz recogió los utensilios de la casa de Dios, hizo pedazos los utensilios de la casa de Dios; cerró las puertas de la casa del SEÑOR e hizo para sí altares en cada rincón de Jerusalén.
25 Y en cada ciudad de Judá hizo lugares altos para quemar incienso a otros dioses, y provocó a ira al SEÑOR, Dios de sus padres.
